Get Spiritualized: Go see Leonard Cohen on final leg of U.S. Tour
You have to hand it to him, at 74, Leonard Cohen remains one of the most compelling live performers you could ever see. He blends the mystical, sensual, spiritual and musical in a way that no other artist can.
Here's your last chance to be baptized in the spirit of Cohen: he's added a final leg to his AEG-promoted U.S. tour. He's in Europe right now on the tour, but people are still talking about his shows in the U.S. -- his first in 15 years -- that took place this Spring. Tickets go on sale Aug. 3. It'll be expensive, but it's money well spent if you can afford it.

I've loved him since I was in high school, but had to wait about 20 years to hear and see the man in person. If you get an opportunity to go to one of his shows, do it. You won't regret it. My expectations for this show were very high, but he surpassed those expectations.
